Not claiming it's the best but I think they do pretty decent job for a place like Bloomington...

Just tell them Felix, the one with Black G35 coupe send you there ...the guy named Doug should remember me

 

ooooooh nice nice. thank you!

how much does it cost?
and
how long does it last?

 

If I remember correctly

$110 for Exterior/Interior
$30 for engine cleaning (under hood)
$220 for Exterior + Interior + Engine Cleaning

They would require you to make appoinment first, drop your car around 9 am and pick up at around 5 pm.

 

Thank you

and

I'm sorry that I'm keep asking stupid question.

So polishing and waxing is totally different?

 

NP, I'm not a pro either
I would not really say it's totally different other than they know how to use the buffer ...
I don't really think it's necessary to have your car polished by some shop other than if you feel lazy to do it...unless of course, you have some light scratches that can't be remove easily by just waxing...buffering would help but it doesn't guarantee that deep scratches would be removed.

 

When polishing comes off (I mean later later) Does swirl mark comes on? Cuz I often see some cars with swirl marks.

I'm keep asking you cuz shops they will always say i won't have swirl marks later.

I really don't know anything about car. and I'm wondering. hehe

I have silver G. you think polishing will help to make it look better?

Black ones. oh they look so nice but I don't know about silver ones.

 

Most paint in nowadays car comes with thin clear coat protectant

I--------------I-------------I---------------I
Paint ++++ Clear Coat +++ Clear coat

Whether a scratch can be removed or not depends on how deep is the scratch...if the scratch is too deep and already touched the paint, then all you can do is re-paint it.

I-------
Paint ++++ (You are outta luck)

Let say you have When you have small scratch on any layers of the clear coat, buffering would remove some if not all of the clear coat

I---------------I -------
Paint ++++++ Clear coat

When you wax it again, you would add that clear coat protectant again

I---------------I--------------I--------------I
Paint ++++++ Clear Coat ++++ Clear Coat

It also applies to bird poop thus why you really want to clean it ASAP when you see it because when the poop already penetrated your paint, be ready to spend at least $300 (+rental fee)

Disclosure: I might mistakenly explain some parts but it works something like that

 

I'm here too, just haven't been on the board for a long long time, (busy schedule this semester I suppose)

 

GOOD GOOD

IUB!!! let's gather up!!!

 

Snap...I just saw this thread LOL. I havent checked the Regions in a while. BlackbirdV35 and I are up for heading out most of the time. Brewskis? Here's my ride. You may see me with black 18's for winter (soon as I find some damn tires)<br>Heres my ride<br>

Does it mean that I'm excluded since I'm not in IUB?

 

haha

no no

i was just saying.

of course you are included.

anyway.

My car would not ready before end of december, I know that I said it should be ready at the end of oct/nov last time....but I guess when you put your car in shop, you need to multiple that at least by 3x
